To give you an idea of what to expect at the 420 cup in San Bernardino, we’ll go over a few of the confirmed attractions.

@PonyboyPearson

You’ll want to be at the stage when winners in each category are announced. It’ll give you a chance to find some of the winners in the prop 215 area to try them out and see if you agree with the judges.

Tattoo Artists

Ever since High Times fan Rogelio Vega (Supa Pilot Roc Vega) sent us a photo of his cannabis cup inspired front-piece, we started inviting tattoo artists to our events.

This year will be no different. Artists from Colours Couture will be on-site, inking to your heart’s content.

Live Music

Get high and let your head rock to beats and lyrics from our world-renowned performers.

This year we will have live music from several DJ’s as well as headlining acts from Nas on Friday, Lil Wayne on Saturday and 2 Chainz on Sunday.

Get High Free Of Judgement

We saved the best for last.

The cannabis cup is one of the few places where you can be your weed-loving self and still feel completely included.
